York Dungeon, Historical entertainment attraction in Clifford Street, England
The York Dungeon presents historical events through performances by professional actors, special effects, and themed sets across ten different shows.
The attraction opened in 1986 as the second Dungeon venue after London, receiving substantial expansions including the Gorvik Viking exhibit in 2002.
Performers recreate encounters with notable figures from York's past, including Guy Fawkes, Dick Turpin, and Isabella Billington through theatrical presentations.
Visitors should book tickets online in advance, noting that the experience lasts 90 minutes and maintains a minimum age requirement of five years.
The facility features a dedicated section about the medieval plague, where guests enter a recreation of a 1551 doctor's surgery with actor interactions.
